Fucking 8Thoughts! I'd rather get kicked in the balls than listen to that bellend.

This is the game Call of Duty should have been in the past 3 years. As a Battlefield game, it's lost too much of its core DNA. It's still a good shooter that both COD and BF can enjoy but it really has blurred the lines and so many of these shooters have lost their identity for money and mass appeal. Once the honeymoon phase fizzles out the lack of content begins to burn here then I think the game will become more strained and people will be less forgiving. We also must not forget that the monetisation framework hasn't kicked in as of yet but that could put a further dampener on things.  Some people are already peeved at how similar to COD certain aspects are particularly with unlocks and cosmetics. EA and DICE have succeeded in what they intended to do though and I feel COD players will be more happy with this game than Battlefield veterans. 

I get that but regardless he's not wrong we pay more money for less things, things that made the series great. I also think these days we've been given so many crap products we are happy with things being mediocre. It's a shame that as a franchise, much like CoD it's best years and games are behind it.

Yeah I noticed that as well and it makes me very wary of them doing it. We all know Activision can't be trusted.

It says at launch not throughout the lifecycle of the game, it would be so funny if they flipped the switch once people had bought the game.🤔

Too late in the day really. It's only because Battlefield 6 exists and Activision's 'too big to fail' statement is coming back to bite them. They will re-apply SBMM gradually and call it 'matmaking calibration considerations' or some other corpo drivel and it'll the the same old story. Probably happen a week after release too in typical bait and switch form. 

Off to a great start with Amazon censoring the guns in several James Bond promotional artworks. 

 

Activision have fucked themselves with this one as it's shown that they're lying pricks. They put out those documents about their matchmaking process and they claimed that ping is king. This reduced skill matchmaking system shows that isn't the case at all. It's now 100% obvious that skill takes precedent over anything else when matchmaking. 

Yes, probably going to rewatch it myself. Now having watched Gein I have to say it's weird as ....but you have to watch it to believe they actually made this show. 

After enjoying how they did Dahmer I think this might be even better. After a teaser trailer this is the latest one, and fair play Charlie Hunnam.
 
 

Treyarch added a classic matchmaking playlist where skill was only used minimally and it was absolutely fantastic. Getting into a game took a few seconds and it didn't feel like you were getting screwed by the matchmaking system if you did well, plus I was always in lobbies with a ping of around 9ms rather than it jumping between 9ms and 40ms. It was actually fun.  It shows just how ridiculous SBMM is in this COD and how the system will prioritise skill over connection.
Hopefully they'll use that system going forward but I doubt it. If they remove it then they're fucked IMO as they've shown players how the game could play if it wasn't for their SBMM system so those players just won't get the game.

It gets worse.  I have it for free because of Game pass which I will cancel once my price goes up. But it was just sitting there waiting to be played yesterday when I looked so I figured I would give it a go. Time would have been better spent watching reruns of Mr Bean for the 30th time 

I played 3 matches on the Beta today. It's Advance Warfare named B07.  Wall jumping, double jump, OCD movement. I'm not going to be playing that shit
 
Guess they didn't get the memo last time about that movement non sense

Thankfully Bf6 will sort out my FPS this year as Bo7 looks like dog egg. To me it looks worse than bo6. 
Also everything I've heard of seen from CoD next looks so fake, they have no interest in the game it came across as one of these generic infomercials that's trying to sell crap to idiots. 
 
🤣

I miss the days when developers would just throw all the content in day one and people would be happy playing for months. This seasonal shite is so tiresome now. 

Looks nothing like the trailer - basically the same as BO6 but with a futuristic skin. The movement looks absolutely ridiculous 
 

Activision caught bribing streamers including 3 convicted cheaters for fake trailer reactions😂 this franchise is an embarrassment 
 

Aren't they releasing operation firestorm with the game ? Then maybe they will drip feed the older bigger maps into the game as additional content? 

This game is getting beat down and it deserves it. This is the best reaction I've seen so far.
 
 Wtf are these Devs actually on about 😂

One of the weakest reveals ever last night. Many words were spoken but nothing much was said. Haven't heard such generic waffle in all my life. 
 

What an absolute load of shite. £70 too
